Witch Ones to Teach....

Back in the hotel carter is going through some clothes looking for his cigarettes he find a business card with a phone number on it. He runs the number through a search and gets nothing. He calls the number, Lilly answers. They chit chat about how things are going. Carter informs her of our trip to Russia and Australia. And finding two more skulls. He tells her about Candice building us out base of operations. He finally asks her about the possibility of him learning to use magic. She says that this could be possible with the proper study. She will need to discuss this with her superiors to see if this would be acceptable due to not usually teaching hunters their ways. Become a witch is a very dedicated path. She will be in touch.

Carter's phone rings and its Lilly. She has spoken with the others and they want him to come talk things over. They also want to build more trust between them and our group. She gives him an address in Georgia. Plans are made for him to go there by tomorrow at 6pm.

Gator and Marcus get into a fight about going or not going to New York. Gator confesses that he developed this phobia after his entire family and girlfriend were replaced by shifters. The arguing continues and cal puts a stop to it.

The group leaves for Georgia. Carter asks the skulls of they would prefer to go with or stay in Mrs. K's vault. They all would like to go. Tony has the idea that we should get each skull a remote control cars to drive around. Acuros levitates out of his box and highly disagrees with this idea saying it is silly.

Carter, Mina, cal, and gator ride together, tony rides his bike, and Connie rides with Marcus. The team purchase CBs to help with communication on the road. They roll into Savannah and go directly to the slushee bar since they had an hour to kill. They head to the address, which turns out to be an open park garden. They walk to the center part of the park where there is a smaller white open building that is a rose garden. The door is locked, and looking inside everything looks dead. At exactly 6pm they hear a click, and the gate unlocks. Carter opens the gate and steps through, as he steps through it looks completely different, everything is in bloom. Everyone else follows. Towards the back we see about five of the witches that they have meet before. The gate shut behind the last person. They usher the group in further and guide them to some benches.

The witches notice that gator is a new face in the group and greet him. The witches all introduce themselves: Lilly, Rose, Jared, Holly, Iris, Heather, Aster, Marigold and William. They tell us that this is their entire crew. Carter presents the two new skulls and introduces them to the witches. They have questions which were answered by the team. Rose tells them that they have nothing to fear from them and they are all welcome guest.

Rose turns to carter to start discussing carters desire to learn magic. The magical path is not a hobby but a lifestyle. The more you put into it the more you get out. Cal and Mina also voice some interest. Cal is more interested in the knowledge rather than the lifestyle.

There are varieties of magic to learn. Demonic magic comes from a darker source. There are different types of demons, imps and grunts, not very powerful. Hell is actually a physical location as far as she knows. Getting back to magic. There are different ways of powering spells. Not good or bad but can be based on intent. Good magic bad intentions. Ritual magic is easier for general people to do. There is a test that can show who's propensity for magic.

Carter will be tested first. Rose takes a silver ring with blue stone off her finger and asks carter to put it on. A pillow Is brought forward with a withered flower. She tells carter to think very hard about the flower being restored and beautiful. Then He will touch it to try and grow is back. Carter takes hold of the flower, and is concentrating very hard. The flower starts to glow with a white light. The flower starts to repair itself. It turns into a large beautiful fully bloomed rose. Carter feels a little drained. While this was happening the ring carter put on glowed. Cater decides that this is a plan he wants to go on and he is told he is a natural.

Mina puts the ring on and concentrates. Nothing happens. Rose says she is sorry but it is not natural for you. Same for Marcus. And gator. Tony passes and does not want to be tested. Cal seems to have an effect that makes the ring want to come off him.

Two types of people who use magic. Borrowers and students. Borrowers take magic. Students study and take a long time. Then there are the naturals, like carter, it will come easy but he must be carful. Students and naturals gain their power from self or the sole. There are magic items in this world, they may draw from you or another source. It depends pin the item. Before the learning can begin there has to be a pact of do no harm to the witches present who will train and give the knowledge. The pact is two way the witches will also not be able to harm us in return. Cal volunteers to be carters geniupig for carters learning.

The witches take action to get the pact ritual ready. The skulls will sit outside the circle. A parchment paper is brought in, and one is writing some things on it. Another is grinding things up in a bowl. A blood donation is needed by all. Cal volunteers first. Carter is last. The witches also cut their hands and add it to the bowl. Cal reads the parchment. A quill is dipped in the blood concoction and each is asked to sign. The witches also sign. Witches ask all to enter the circle and the witches start speaking in Latin to cast a spell. The bowl goes up in green flames, as well as the signatures.

Carter will be assigned a teacher, and can start once our BOO is compelled. A gate can be developed that would give a direct link between the coven and the BOO. The witches can also help to ward the BOO from magical attacks.

There's about 5 weeks before the BOO is set to be done. Time to work some cases in the meantime.

Off to NYC.....
